If you've never heard of the Pomodoro Technique then it's a method of
improving your concentration based on - erm, a timer. Focus Booster features
a simple timer on a a black timeline, upon which a green progress bar
gradually progresses. It's meant to be a more visual way of being able to
keep track of your time although in effect, it's nothing more than a
rectangular stop watch. The all-important options can be accessed by clicking
the small and rather obscure 'i' on the right of the interface, where you can
set the session and break time length. You can also choose whether you want
it to tick or not. The ticking does actually help remind you that you only
have a limited time to complete a task, whereas the visual side seems a bit
pointless although if you're listening to music or need the audio channels
for something else, I see how it could be useful. Whether it will work
actually improve your concentration depends on your mentality. It could quite
easily work the other way and end up distracting you with its long (albeit
resizeable) interface and annoying ticking. *If you really can't stick to the
clock and need a gentle helping hand along the way to better concentration,
Focus Booster is at least worth a try.*Download *Focus Booster 1.2* in
